History

Strategy& was born in 2014 when Booz & Company became part of the PwC network, joining forces to create a new kind of consulting business – one that combines a century of strategic expertise with the technology and scale to make strategy real.

Booz & Company established the consulting profession in Chicago back in 1914 – and was the first firm to use the term “management consultant.” For almost a century, the firm helped clients all over the world navigate changing landscapes, develop their differentiation, and win in their market.

Throughout the years, our many achievements included helping establish the contract system for Hollywood movies in the 50s, rescuing Chrysler from bankruptcy in the 70s, inventing the concept of “supply chain management” in the 80s and, more recently, supporting the transformation of McGraw-Hill into S&P Global.

This heritage is part of our DNA. Every day, we benefit from and build upon our legacy of practical strategy. Colleagues who join Strategy& benefit immeasurably from a culture focused on professional development and global collaboration. Clients benefit from our many decades’ experience identifying and building winning capabilities, and our unwavering commitment to get the right answer.

Today, Strategy& is PwC’s global strategy consulting business, and the only at-scale strategy business inside a professional services network. Proud of our past, and focused on the future, we are uniquely positioned to think big and deliver big for our clients.
